When
the textbooks are written for future media studies and political science
students I hope that a full chapter is dedicated to what happens when racism
and religious fundamentalism is allowed to dominate the conversation. It
divides a nation.
Yes,
I am a Christian and my faith shapes my beliefs. I would hope that
an elected official, who publicly professes to share my belief in the teachings
of Jesus, would act with wisdom and compassion. ...

Sometimes it seems like it was a century ago that Rodney King uttered the words "Can't we all get along?"

In a recent article for Forbes, Victoria Pynchon writes:

As I wrote in a June, 2008 blog post, it's time to get very serious about water.

I learned about Miessence shortly after they introduced their product line to North America. I was so impressed with the company's mission that I enrolled as a sales representative.
